Question

How many sheets of designer paper can Jody buy with her $40 if she needs at least $18.25 for the scrapbook, and each sheet of paper costs $0.34?

A) 94 sheets
B) 76 sheets
C) 59 sheets
D) 62 sheets

Answer 1

Jody can buy 62 sheets of designer paper with her $40 budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many sheets of designer paper Jody can buy with her $40, we first need to subtract the cost of the scrapbook from her budget. $40 - $18.25 = $21.75. This is the amount of money Jody has left to spend on designer paper.

Next, we divide this amount by the cost of each sheet of paper. $21.75 ÷ $0.34 = 64. So Jody can buy 64 sheets of designer paper with her remaining budget.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) 62 sheets.
